Was it Barney behind the 'Friendship Day'?

Barney Stinson welcomes a bro to his gang by proclaiming,''Welcome to our fraternity, of non paternity'' as he gives the world a new day to celebrate named as 'Not a father day'..

It makes me wonder how these days originate when we celebrate any '' _ _ _ _ day ''..

Watching the party at my college yesterday night made me wonder, how can someone decide a day for celebration of friendship??

Sure a friendship day doesn't harm..Archies makes a fortune out of celebrations like these..And well even my chocolates got sold because of this celebration so i won't really complain ;)

But what bothers me is the superficiality of our existence that is getting created by the great marketing masterminds.. We need a day to show love, friendship, respect for our mother,father etc etc.. Friendship is the lifeblood for me..My mom at times tells me that the reason I come home is to only meet my friends :) ..

And well recently if i have to miss quizzes to roam around and create bhasad with a friend in gurgaon, i don't regret it..

With the kind of friends I have, everyday is a crazy new experience, everyday is a celebration, everyday is a reason for joy and everyday we need no reason to create Bhasad :)

And i really hope and pray that it stays this way because i don't want to get so trapped in the cycle of a zombie existence that i would need Archies to tell me which day to celebrate friendship, which day to kiss, which day to hug, which day to love, which day to show respect to my parents etc etc..

I DECIDE to celebrate friendship on each and every day i exist :)

Hey Friends, Love you all :)
